  But that’s a typical strawman argument. The straw ban laws have exception for medical equipement, and unfortunately some place found workaround like paper straw or pasta straw. But an able-bodied adult doesn’t really need a straw to drink, getting one with a drink is even an annoyance.

    This is just a typical strawban argument.

    That's not really relevant to the question being asked and the answer you're replying to though. OP said straws should just stop existing because it's only a convenience, and this counterpoint was that there are people who NEED straws, not as convenience but as necessity.
